’t Koepeltje

Dive site Kerkweg in Den Osse is one of the most famous dive sites in Zeeland. Here you can dive from the jetty on oyster beds, an artificial reef of reefballs and many other hard substrate that is nicely overgrown. The maximum depth is about 30 metres, but you will find most life in the shallow water.

The Plompetoren dive site is named after the remaining tower of the village of Koudekerke, which disappeared into the sea. This is not a difficult dive site when it comes to navigation, the side is straight and the depth lines run up to 30 meters approximately parallel to the shore.

Levensstrijd (Life Struggle) is a relatively shallow dive site, but if you don’t like the crowds at the neighboring dive sites, then this is the place for you. You can dive both along the rock dump on the dike and the sandy bottom where you can also find harder substrate.

Just before Dreischor Gemaal is another dive site. This is enhanced by the artificial reef that was built here a few years ago. Just like at Scharendijke and Den Osse, a ribbon of reef balls have been laid here. Parking is easy and via a staircase, over the dike, you come to a riser where you can go to the water.

This dive site is not subject to tides, so you can dive here all day long. From the stairs, you can dive both to the left and to the right. On the right is the pumping station, which is very nicely overgrown and sometimes produces attractive images for macro photographers.

Zeeland Bridge can be called the most popular dive site on the Eastern Scheldt. Especially in the sepia season (May-June) this site is very popular among divers from the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany.

This is a shore diving site that is easily accessible. There is ample parking available at the disabled jetty. This site is widely used by clubs that have a lot to celebrate. The way to acess the dive site is by entering the water via the boat ramp.

Zoetersbout is an accessible dive site in the Oosterschelde, there is virtually no current here, but it can be felt at the head of the dike. You dive along an overgrown dike wall with eels, lobsters and galatheak lobsters as permanent residents. Dive between the weeds and discover the underwater life here.

The Anna Jacobapolder dive site is directly opposite the Zoetersbout dive site. This site is located on a ferry port where the ferry services used to sail between Anna-Jacobapolder and Zijpe. Currently there is an oyster farm between the main dams.

The Bergse Diepsluis, also known as Oesterdam or the Thoolse Gat by local divers, is a very accessible site and enables divers to get acquainted with the wonders of the Oosterschelde National Park. This site has little to no current due to its location, making it an ideal spot for beginners.
